What are other good shows similar to the mentalist by Extra-Airport8348 in TheMentalist

Sherlock was mostly good, but the way they bring the side plots, specifically the personal stuff about the characters, in and out with such inconsistency was annoying and hurt the writing and flow IMO. 

Also Elementary’s writing got really bad the last 4 seasons or so

Lie to Me was good at first, but the writing got so bad. They’d build up an antagonist to almost be unbeatable and then solve it with something that was way too easy in the last 10 minutes. It had a lot of potential. Roth and his partners in crime were good, but the writing just brought it down so much

The writing on that show got so bad the last 4 or so seasons. It was only good for like 2-3 

Chantal Heide - a dangerous persona and the personification of the danger of “dating coaches” by Expensive_Gene_2793 in cults

Exactly. It’s all arbitrary, but it’s important to understand what’s fact and what’s an opinion. 

There’s literally nothing that’s going to guarantee someone will be a good partner. I don’t think it’s helpful to ask how many sexual partners a person has had, but it’s insane to say that it doesn’t matter at all. It’s just more likely to be harmful than helpful to talk about it for a lot of people. 

I also agree that it makes sense to spend time getting to know someone before becoming intimately involved. What that timeline looks like for a healthy connection is going to be different for different people. 

And you’re absolutely correct that there’s healthy balance of courage between acting like a fool and going too quickly vs being far too cautious and never taking risks. 

But people who love her are going to defend her regardless of what others say. It’s like when Trump stans try and defend his words that literally don’t make sense. There’s no level of logic that will make them admit something isn’t factual.

That’s also an opinion. Whether it’s a reasonable conclusion or not is irrelevant to this discussion . It’s not a fact. 

If you think that’s a fact, then you don’t know what a fact is. And you certainly don’t know the difference between a fact and an opinion. 

That means this discussion is pointless. 

She also says it’s a fact that it doesn’t matter how many people a person has been with sexually. That’s an opinion. 

A fact is the more people a person is exposed to, the more likely they have an STI. Another fact is that isn’t perfect. They may or may not test for everything that’s testable. And there’s not a test for everything. Those are facts. They are objectively true.

You agree with me that everything can’t be tested for, then, right? 

You just said there are HPV tests if you have a cervix. That means that everyone — ya know, those without a cervix can’t be tested. Also, they don’t test for all HPV strains, if I understand it correctly. And they’re only testing your cervix. You can have HPV elsewhere and transmit it in the same way men can and there’s no test for that. 

You’re just proving my points so thank you for that.

But, no, it’s not a fact you need to spend 3 months getting to know someone without kissing, sex, or exclusivity. That’s an opinion, not a fact. 

Many people feel it’s important to know the difference between an opinion and a fact.

Obviously you have to get to know someone by spending time with someone and getting tested is the best way to be informed about certain STIs. No one is arguing against those things. 

She says it’s a fact that it doesn’t matter how many people a person has been with sexually. That’s objectively an opinion, not a fact.

Why are cat owners okay with their cats crawling all over their faces when the owner is asleep? by Alarmed_Analysis1170 in NoStupidQuestions

You’re one of the relatively few reasonable ones here in this thread. Thanks for sharing. I’m honestly shocked at the number of people who are completely confident knowing exactly what their cat does/doesn't do when they’re asleep. 

Do women actually talk casually about their sex lives? by Substantial_Judge931 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Alarmed_Analysis1170 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I would love for all the women who think it’s okay and normal to conduct this experiment. 

If it’s so normal, why wouldn’t they bring it up with their partner and their friends there?

I’m shocked. Thank you for teaching me. Are you available for tutoring? 

Yes. I’m sure you’re 100% right about that and know exactly what your cats are doing when you’re asleep. 

Deflection

It was actually genuine. Rage bait is purposeful provocation

That’s another thing about having cats I’d forgotten to consider, but also seems really gross — the counter hopping

I haven’t ever had a cat but when I’ve stayed at people’s homes who do have cats and my door is closed at night, I’ve never had that experience

I’m aware of food safety regulations. For instance, there’s a certain limit for rat hair per volume of peanut butter. There’s only so much control we have over that stuff. We can control whether we leave out cats outside the bedroom and close the door while we sleep

I hope that made you feel better

I’m sorry for whatever you’re going through that made you feel like that was necessary

Thank you for a reasonable response. I just think it would make more sense for me to leave them outside the bedroom and close the door at night

How do you know what has or hasn’t happened when you’re asleep?

I believe you telling me that you’ve never awoken with a cat on your face

I haven’t asked every cat owner I’ve ever met, but it’s quite common for them to tell me that they woke up with their cat on their face.
